Being a scapegoat is not easy, especially if you are one in your family. This Redditor wonders how to soften what she confessed to her family (that she is almost never included), and I think it might be time to stop explaining and explore other groups of people. Dynamics, to continue functioning, have to be fed through both sides; if one stops, the dynamic can't perpetuate itself.

Sometimes gifts come with weird expectations attached. Well, they’re not exactly ‘weird’, but one typically assumes that a gift is a gift and it doesn’t have a receipt, but it does. In the majority of cases, it most certainly does. This is one of those stories in which, to me, both parties are equally in the wrong; therefore, they’re also equally in the right, if you know what I mean, so I will dedicate my time to elaborating each sister’s perspective (or at least my idea of it, of course).

Woman spends all Saturday baking a cake for her sister's birthday, only for her to tell all her guests she got it from the local bakery, so she takes it back home with her: 'She rolled her eyes and said, "Does it really matter?"'

I have no idea why this is so common; I’ve heard and watched so many related stories. Mothers-in-law are, not for nothing, represented in so many folk tales like this. They act very jealous with their sons; they sabotage relationships; they always present themselves as ‘the one who knows best’, and every time a husband is on their side, you are sure to lose.

Very often, our parents want to help us or gift us something to make our lives easier, and they end up making it way more complicated.
